What is a Special Occasion Licence?
A Special Occasion Licence (SOL) permits you to serve, sell and consume alcohol at your special event, celebration or community festival. Licences are regulated by the Liquor Control & Licensing Branch, Ministry of Housing & Social Development, and issued by the Liquor Distribution Branch. When you apply for a SOL, you agree to be responsible for the safety and sobriety of your guests. A complete copy of the laws that govern this licence can be found at the Liquor Control and Licensing website at http://www.hsd.gov.bc.ca/lclb/apply/special/index.htm.
